Scientists will look for evidence like similar body or skeleton structures, internal similarities or maybe sometimes the whole heirarchy to confirm that two speices are closely related to each other.
For example ; in birds, scientists will look for type of feathers, body structure, beaks to confirm the similarity of two birds.
Fact, BRCA genes help with cell division in the breast and prostate regions. Therefore, if they are mutated, the cell division process wouldn't function normally and possibly end up in cancer since the BRCA genes tend to be tumor suppressors (cancer is a malignant tumor).
The question is incomplete. Th ecomplete question is as following:
All of the following protect the skin and mucous membranes from infection EXCEPT
A) multiple layers of cells.
B) tears.
C) saliva.
D) HCl.
E) the "ciliary escalator."
Answer: D) HCl.
Explanation:
- The epidermis, the outer layer of the skin provides waterproofing and serves as a barrier to infection and other laers also sustain any type of injury.
- Tears wash out foreign bodies which enter the eye. In addition, tears contain a substance called lysozyme which has an antibacterial function and works to prevent microbial invasion and infection.
- Saliva protects against infection, especially via the innate immune system. This mechanism is an important first-line protection against bacterial and viral infection
- The mucociliar escalator is within the conducting airways and is composed of mucus and cilia that transfer the mucus up and out of the lungs where it can be removed by coughing or swallowing,
Whereas HCL helps in the digestion process.
Hence, the correct option is D.
